Michael Powers, Charlottesville, Virginia

Michael undertook a major transformation of Academy's 1/35 scale Warrior to the Medium Repair Vehicle (MRV) variant. He used a resin set from Accurate Armor for the conversion, then painted the vehicle with acrylics from Polly Scale, Tamiya, and Testors Model Master. Artist's oil washes, airbrushed dust, pastels, and homemade paint filters weathered the MRV for operations in Kosovo.
